Commit 16d7fd3cfa72 ("zonefs: use iomap for synchronous direct writes")
changes zonefs code from a self-built zone append BIO to using iomap for
synchronous direct writes. This change relies on iomap submit BIO
callback to change the write BIO built by iomap to a zone append BIO.
However, this change overlooked the fact that a write BIO may be very
large as it is split when issued. The change from a regular write to a
zone append operation for the built BIO can result in a block layer
warning as zone append BIO are not allowed to be split.

This error depends on the hardware used, specifically on the max zone
append bytes and max_[hw_]sectors limits. Tests using AMD Epyc machines
that have low limits did not reveal this issue while runs on Intel Xeon
machines with larger limits trigger it.

Manually splitting the zone append BIO using bio_split_rw() can solve
this issue but also requires issuing the fragment BIOs synchronously
with submit_bio_wait(), to avoid potential reordering of the zone append
BIO fragments, which would lead to data corruption. That is, this
solution is not better than using regular write BIOs which are subject
to serialization using zone write locking at the IO scheduler level.

Given this, fix the issue by removing zone append support and using
regular write BIOs for synchronous direct writes. This allows preseving
the use of iomap and having identical synchronous and asynchronous
sequential file write path. Zone append support will be reintroduced
later through io_uring commands to ensure that the needed special
handling is done correctly.

<content type='text'>
Remove the function zonefs_file_dio_append() that is used to manually
issue REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND BIOs for processing synchronous direct writes
and use iomap instead.

To preserve the use of zone append operations for synchronous writes,
different struct iomap_dio_ops are defined. For synchronous direct
writes using zone append, zonefs_zone_append_dio_ops is introduced.
The submit_bio operation of this structure is defined as the function
zonefs_file_zone_append_dio_submit_io() which is used to change the BIO
opreation for synchronous direct IO writes to REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND.

In order to preserve the write location check on completion of zone
append BIOs, the end_io operation is also defined using the function
zonefs_file_zone_append_dio_bio_end_io(). This check now relies on the
zonefs_zone_append_bio structure, allocated together with zone append
BIOs with a dedicated BIO set. This structure include the target inode
of a zone append BIO as well as the target append offset location for
the zone append operation. This is used to perform a check against
bio-&gt;bi_iter.bi_sector when the BIO completes, without needing to use
the zone information z_wpoffset field, thus removing the need for
taking the inode truncate mutex.

<title>zonefs: Cache zone group directory inodes</title>

Since looking up any zone file inode requires looking up first the inode
for the directory representing the zone group of the file, ensuring that
the zone group inodes are always cached is desired. To do so, take an
extra reference on the zone groups directory inodes on mount, thus
avoiding the eviction of these inodes from the inode cache until the
volume is unmounted.

<title>zonefs: Dynamically create file inodes when needed</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d207794ababe5c3ad72e965c5e1023cfaf4ab1bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Allocating and initializing all inodes and dentries for all files
results in a very large memory usage with high capacity zoned block
devices. For instance, with a 26 TB SMR HDD with over 96000 zones,
mounting the disk with zonefs results in about 130 MB of memory used,
the vast majority of this space being used for vfs inodes and dentries.

However, since a user will rarely access all zones at the same time,
dynamically creating file inodes and dentries on demand, similarly to
regular file systems, can significantly reduce memory usage.

This patch modifies mount processing to not create the inodes and
dentries for zone files. Instead, the directory inode operation
zonefs_lookup() and directory file operation zonefs_readdir() are
introduced to allocate and initialize inodes on-demand using the helper
functions zonefs_get_dir_inode() and zonefs_get_zgroup_inode().

Implementation of these functions is simple, relying on the static
nature of zonefs directories and files. Directory inodes are linked to
the volume zone groups (struct zonefs_zone_group) they represent by
using the directory inode i_private field. This simplifies the
implementation of the lookup and readdir operations.

Unreferenced zone file inodes can be evicted from the inode cache at any
time. In such case, the only inode information that cannot be recreated
from the zone information that is saved in the zone group data
structures attached to the volume super block is the inode uid, gid and
access rights. These values may have been changed by the user. To keep
these attributes for the life time of the mount, as before, the inode
mode, uid and gid are saved in the inode zone information and the saved
values are used to initialize regular file inodes when an inode lookup
happens. The zone information mode, uid and gid are initialized in
zonefs_init_zgroup() using the default values.

With these changes, the static minimal memory usage of a zonefs volume
is mostly reduced to the array of zone information for each zone group.
For the 26 TB SMR hard-disk mentioned above, the memory usage after
mount becomes about 5.4 MB, a reduction by a factor of 24 from the
initial 130 MB memory use.

<content type='text'>
In preparation for adding dynamic inode allocation, separate an inode
zone information from the zonefs inode structure. The new data structure
zonefs_zone is introduced to store in memory information about a zone
that must be kept throughout the lifetime of the device mount.

Linking between a zone file inode and its zone information is done by
setting the inode i_private field to point to a struct zonefs_zone.
Using the i_private pointer avoids the need for adding a pointer in
struct zonefs_inode_info. Beside the vfs inode, this structure is
reduced to a mutex and a write open counter.

One struct zonefs_zone is created per file inode on mount. These
structures are organized in an array using the new struct
zonefs_zone_group data structure to represent zone groups. The
zonefs_zone arrays are indexed per file number (the index of a struct
zonefs_zone in its array directly gives the file number/name for that
zone file inode).

Instead of using the i_ztype field in struct zonefs_inode_info to
indicate the zone type of an inode, introduce the new inode flag
ZONEFS_ZONE_CNV to be set in the i_flags field of struct
zonefs_inode_info to identify conventional zones. If this flag is not
set, the zone of an inode is considered to be a sequential zone.

The helpers zonefs_zone_is_cnv(), zonefs_zone_is_seq(),
zonefs_inode_is_cnv() and zonefs_inode_is_seq() are introduced to
simplify testing the zone type of a struct zonefs_inode_info and of a
struct inode.

Simplify zonefs_check_zone_condition() by moving the code that changes
an inode access rights to the new function zonefs_inode_update_mode().
Furthermore, since on mount an inode wpoffset is always zero when
zonefs_check_zone_condition() is called during an inode initialization,
the "mount" boolean argument is not necessary for the readonly zone
case. This argument is thus removed.

zonefs_io_error_cb() is also modified to use the inode offline and
zone state flags instead of checking the device zone condition. The
multiple calls to zonefs_check_zone_condition() are reduced to the first
call on entry, which allows removing the "warn" argument.
zonefs_inode_update_mode() is also used to update an inode access rights
as zonefs_io_error_cb() modifies the inode flags depending on the volume
error handling mode (defined with a mount option). Since an inode mode
change differs for read-only zones between mount time and IO error time,
the flag ZONEFS_ZONE_INIT_MODE is used to differentiate both cases.

If a file zone transitions to the offline or readonly state from an
active state, we must clear the zone active flag and decrement the
active seq file counter. Do so in zonefs_account_active() using the new
zonefs inode flags ZONEFS_ZONE_OFFLINE and ZONEFS_ZONE_READONLY. These
flags are set if necessary in zonefs_check_zone_condition() based on the
result of report zones operation after an IO error.

Modify struct zonefs_sb_info to add the s_active_seq_files atomic to
count the number of seq files representing a zone that is partially
written or explicitly open, that is, to count sequential files with
a zone that is in an active state on the device.

The helper function zonefs_account_active() is introduced to update
this counter whenever a file is written or truncated. This helper is
also used in the zonefs_seq_file_write_open() and
zonefs_seq_file_write_close() functions when the explicit_open mount
option is used.

The s_active_seq_files counter is exported through sysfs using the
read-only attribute nr_active_seq_files. The device maximum number of
active zones is also exported through sysfs with the read-only attribute
max_active_seq_files.
